Chapter 724: How Is This Woman So Thick-Skinned?
When the shop assistant heard her, he finally understood why Wang Xiangyun tore up the painting. His anxious heart also sank.
Ming Yan heard her and scoffed in his heart, How is this woman so thick-skinned?
However, Dongfang Ming ignored her and looked at Ming Yan, his eyes saying, Why are you still standing there? Didn’t I ask you to go over and see if the painting has been framed?!
Ming Yan saw the anger in Dongfang Ming’s eyes and understood the message. He turned around and went to the workroom where the paintings were framed.
He initially wanted to see how his master would answer Wang Xiangyun’s question. However, he didn’t want to receive this seemingly normal glance that was actually extremely strict and severe.
“Miss Wang, I don’t want to repeat things I already said too much. Also, please stop crossing my line!” Dongfang Ming waited until Ming Yan, who initially wanted to stay and watch the spectacle, left before opening his mouth to speak neither happily nor angrily.
After he finished speaking, he sent Wang Xiangyun, who was blocking the way, staggering. He slowly walked beside the shop assistant and said, “After we leave and some time has passed, my servant will bring another painting here to be framed again. If it gets torn up by a certain irrelevant person in your shop again, I won’t simply let it go like I am doing right now! Understand?”
“Understood, understood. I will definitely remember Mr. Dongfang Ming’s instructions.” The shop assistant immediately nodded and bowed to obey.
Just hearing those short few sentences made his heart thump quickly and he felt as if a wave of pressure had crashed down on him. If Dongfang Ming wanted him to take responsibility, he would definitely end up fired.
Hah… Miss Wang? An irrelevant person? Tears started to fall unconsciously from Wang Xiangyun’s eyes again.
Little Tian saw the dazed look on her lady’s face and even though she felt extremely hurt in her heart, she couldn’t do anything. This was all her own doing. She was a servant girl; what powers did she have to do anything?
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Why can’t my lady understand this? Little Tian sighed in her heart.
She didn’t know what insanity took over. Wang Xiangyun went in front of Dongfang Ming without even wiping her tears away and said furiously, “Brother Ming, what do you mean by that? Didn’t you hear what I said to you? I said I won’t allow you to paint other girls beside me!”
“Why do I have to listen to you? You and I are unrelated!” Dongfang Ming was indifferent towards her anger. He spoke calmly as if they were talking about someone else’s issue.
“Brother Ming, you…”
Before she could finish, Dongfang Ming interrupted her by saying, “Miss Wang, you keep on doing things like this and justify it by claiming you are my fiance. Don’t you know how to write the two words, honor and shame?”
When Wang Xiangyun heard him, she became so hurt that she couldn’t stand still and swayed about. She looked in his eyes and she looked extremely pitiful.
She didn’t think Dongfang Ming would call her shameless. How could he say that?
Little Tian saw this and immediately went forward to help her up. She also came to defend her lady by saying, “Mr. Dongfang Ming, my lady has been engaged to you ever since you guys were young. What do you mean by doing things and then justifying it by claiming she isn’t your fiance? No matter if you admit it or not, she is nominally your future wife!”
What she meant was, if he wanted to cancel the engagement, he needed to give her lady’s family an explanation! It wasn’t as he made it seem, like he could cancel it by just saying he wanted to cancel it.
Engaged since they were young?
Dongfang Ming looked at Little Tian as she came to her lady’s defense. He smiled slightly. “Engaged since we were young? Go look for the person who decided it. Only I, Dongfang Ming, have the right to choose my own wife!”
Although he couldn’t deny what she said, it wasn’t what he wanted. He said this very obviously again right now so that Wang Xiangyun would get it through her head.
